Next Event
Followed By:
Burden of Paradise feat. Snake Davis
29 March 2015
The Band
Breathtaking skill, warm co-operation and witty anarchic banter. BoP invite it's audience into a world of tenderness, virtuosity and human frailty.
The Music
No drums. Just voice, saxophone and a pulsing engine room of double bass and guitar. BoP's unique interpretations of evocative songs from Dylan to download are spell-binding.
The Name
We are all in paradise, if only we knew it. The burden is to accept it.
Celebonference
It was a real pleasure (although really nerve racking) to host our version of a celebration and conference!
A special thank you to our Chairman, David Legh and Leader of the Council Richard Blunt for their contribution with an extra special thank you to Richard Gerver for his incredible hour of inspiration!
Our young people were exceptional and I would like to thank all of them, with a special thanks to Chloe who was in charge of the canapés that I forgot to mention on the evening!! And thanks to staff, volunteers and tutors that helped out - most greatly appreciated!
We have produced a short video from a Richard sound bite. Hope you enjoy. There will be more episodes to come in the new year.
Picture attached of the time capsule which will be buried under the bell in the garden area.
